Hi all,
I'm loving my new Staff Brute so much that I think I'm willing to put some serious effort into his build--serious enough to try and get a Gladiator +3% Def enhancement, anyway.
Anything I'm overlooking? Should I move Brute's Fury to a different power (I originally had it in Mud Pots, but decided that would be a better place for Armageddon)? And most importantly: am I correct my assumption that taking Staff Mastery at any level allows the Form abilities no matter how far back you've exemped?
Of course, I'm trying to counteract the recharge deficit applied by Granite Armor, so I slotted heavily for +Recharge bonuses. And since it's a Brute, I'm aiming for a lot of +MaxHP as well. This is also intended to be an end-game build; I'll put together a second, cheaper build that will have Brimstone, Crystal and Minerals for exemping or facing Psychic foes.
Anyway, I'd love to hear the thoughts of others. This is my first level 50 Brute--and my first Stone Armor character that made it far enough to reach Granite Armor--so I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong.
